Got a call today from (one of) the recruitment advisors working on getting me moved. There’s an accountancy firm in Cwmbran very interested in speaking to me. They asked him to call me and provide their details to me, rather than the other way around. Looks like a very generous employment package, too.

This could be the year I become a Taff.

Good luck Dan, just don’t pig-out too much on the local delicacy of Jammie Dodgers!

[RSB]

Yes good luck. Don’t forget your wellies, @sgb101 explained to me if you put the hind legs of the sheep in your wellies it makes it much easier 😉

God luck Dan, I had a lot of good times in Cwmbran.

Not as many loonies as Newport (in my day) but they were a few notches p the loony scale.

LOL @PlaneMan. My Newport Local (a bikers/rock pub) is fine. I only mix with good people.

But thank you all. I guess I’ll have an idea how things go by Thursday afternoon. I have a Skype interview lunchtime on Thursday.

Well, it went better than I thought. They want to see me face to face, now.

Just a quick update, here. I had second interview on Friday 13th. Also had an interview in Cardiff with a different firm in the morning. I was a very close 2nd for the Cardiff job, but got a very good offer from Cwmbran 10 minutes after leaving.

Accepted, and the intention was to start 1 June. Then, of course, we went into lockdown.

The offer is still live with start date to be agreed (and I received the formal offer on Friday) once the world settles down a bit, and just niggling over a couple of minor issues in the contract.

So, I am going to be moving. Leanne was more nervous than me 🙂

That’s good to hear, well done. There seems to be more Forumite members ‘out West’ than in the rest of the country!! :scratch:

[Tippon]

That’s great news. Well done Dan :good:

[PlaneMan]

Result! :good:
